Placing and caring for your rug
Unroll the rug and let it lie flat for a few hours to release fold lines from shipping.
Vacuum on a low pile setting once a week to lift dust from the wool base.
Use a rug pad underneath to stop slipping and add a bit of extra cushion.
Our wool build versus a synthetic pile rug
Why cheap synthetic rugs disappoint fast
Synthetic pile rugs shed plastic fibers and flatten within a season because the backing is glued rather than woven. Chemical dyes on synthetic fiber often fade in patches under sunlight.
What weaving with real wool changes
Woven wool on a cotton foundation keeps its structure because the layers are locked together, not glued. Plant-based dyes fade evenly across the surface instead of blotching in one spot.
How the pile settles in over time
Unrolled and settling
Rug lies flat within hours; light fold marks smooth out on their own.
Pile finds its rhythm
Light shedding tapers off with regular vacuuming as fibers settle.
Fully at home
Wool pile holds a consistent loft and the room feels finished.
From raw fleece to finished rug
Source the fleece
We start with graded New Zealand wool fleece, checked for fiber length and strength.
Card and spin
Raw fleece is carded and spun into yarn strong enough for daily foot traffic.
Weave onto cotton
Wool yarn is woven onto a combed cotton foundation for a flat, stable base.
Dye and finish
Plant-based dyes are applied and the rug is trimmed and edge-bound with jute.
Common questions about this rug
Will this rug shed on my floor? +
New wool rugs shed loose fibers for the first few weeks. Regular vacuuming clears it up and the pile settles down after that.
Can I use it in a high-traffic hallway? +
It handles daily foot traffic well, though we'd suggest a runner style for tight hallways since this piece is sized for open rooms.
How do I clean spills? +
Blot right away with a dry cloth, then use a mild soap and water on the spot. Avoid soaking the wool pile.
Does the color fade in sunlight? +
Plant-based dyes fade gradually and evenly over years, the same way natural wool tones do. Rotating the rug helps keep the look consistent.
What buyers say after living with it
"The wool feels thicker than I expected from a photo. It sits flat in our living room without any curling at the corners."

"Shed a bit the first week like they mentioned, but a weekly vacuum sorted it out. Color looks even across the whole rug."
Marcus T.
